wmqoow SCREEN AND WEATHERING AND THE LIKE.

Application filed November lt', 1926. Serial No. 148,967.

This invention 1 relatesjto improvements in window screens and weathering.

In the accompanying drawings, which serve for illustrating the invention: 7

Fig. 1 is a detail'view inperspective of the improved screen and weathering;

Fig. '2 is a vertical sectional view of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4: is an enlarged detail view of Fig." 2 illustrating a modification.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of the weathering elementilhistrating a modification. 7

As here shown, the structure comprises a window screen of the usual construction consistingof the frame 1, screen retaining head 2 and wire screen 3.

The weathering comprises a series of outwardly. extended and downwardly inclined louvers 4t secured to the screen-frame in any suitable manner, as by means of nails, as indicated at 5 in Fig. 3, or at 6 in Fig.- 4. In the latter arrangement, the louvers are pro.-

- vided with outwardly extended flanges 7,

projecting over the adjacent sides ofthe screen frame and nailed thereto as indicated at 6. As here shown, a covering or finishing bead 7 is applied over the nails 6 and flanges 7. The ends of the louver-s project into slots '7 cut in the inner face of the screen frame.

The louvers are referably curved, as shown in the several tigures of the drawings, and are arranged transversely across the frame of the screen with suitable spacing between the louvers to admit light and exclude the weather.

metal 1 1, an outwardly turned fiange 12 be ing formed along the edges of the sheet for fastening the structure intho screen frame. It will be apparent from the illustrations ofthe' several figures of the drawings that the combined screen and weathering will also be effective as a sunshade for the window., As a weatherin and sun shade the arrangement 18 particu larly desirable in the hot season as the windows so protected may be left open for ventilating without permitting the weather during storms to blow: in.

Thus windows left openin homes during ab- I p 60.

sence of families, or during sudden storms, especially at night, will be protected against the storm by the screen weathering. Any suitable metal, as galvanized iron, or copper base, rust resisting iron may be used for the louvers. I

Having described my invention, I claim: 7 1. A window screen and weathering including a frame for supporting the screen wire and presenting a recess outward of the I wire, a series of vertically spaced slots'in the opposite inner edges of said recessed por tion of the frame, a corresponding series'of louversarranged transversely in said frame, each having a portion extended into said recess and into said slots at the opposite ends of the louvers, and opposite laterally extended flanges over the frame for securing the louver-s thereto.

2. A window screen and weathering in-,

eluding a frame for supporting the screen wlre and present ng a recess outward of the wire, a series of vertically spaced louvers arranged transversely in said frame, each'haw In testimony whereof, I affix my signa- CULLIE H. BAUGH. l

the frame for securing the louvers thereto.
